Your sister helped you get a dream job at a designer clothing store and one of the perks of the job is that you get 15% off all clothing that you buy at their store. During your first month of employment you purchased $235 tax-free (before the discount) worth of clothing from the designer store. You worked 25 hours during that month at $9.50 an hour and they deducted 15% of your total paycheck for deductions. Did you still make money in your first month of employment regardless of how much you spent at their store for designer clothes? How much? Show your work.

$197.30 revenue.

Step-by-step explanation:

As long as we realise that 15% = $237.50 total revenue - 15% of that revenue $40.20 and the other 15% was totaled prior and kept to one side as seen as expenditure.

revenue = r  clothing purchase = p

r = (25 x 10 -12.50) - (p15% of e235)

r = (250 - 12.50) -( e235- p23.5 +11.73)

r = (237.50) - (expenditure 235- p35.73)

r = 237.50 -(expenditure 199.27)

r= 237.50

e = 199.27

p = 35.73

Answer with out including expenditure your sister revenue was $237.50

The 15% deduction cannot be confused with the deduction from clothes.

If we were to calculate 15% of $237.50 this would be 23.7+ 16.85 =$40.2

A different  Salary related 15% contribution payments = $40.20

If these were taken from $237.50

Then $237.50- $40.20 = $197.30 revenue, but we do not have to show expenditure in the total only the workings, which is still owed being $199.27- $40.20 already paid towards.

Extension = This means because $40.20 was deducted then expenditure still to be deducted outside of the question would be   e. $199.27 - $40.20 = 159.07 still owed. Saying that the 15% was to pay your sisters contribution to the clothes and not to the state.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
